New plastics better than glass in agriculture and at play

In agriculture, plastics filter UV radiation and improve the green house effect.

Todays’ market gardeners know that some plastics are in fact much more effective than glass: this material is better at withstanding both sunlight and bad weather; materials like "Altuglas" filter out UV radiation that can damage crops and its low transparency to InfraRed light guarantees a high green house effect, thus reducing energy consumption.

The same products are perfectly transparent and extremely shock resistant, that is why the walls of to-days’ squash courts and the back-panels of basket-ball courts are often made of altuglas.
